General Support / Stop widescreen custom resolution from being stretched?
« on: January 27, 2012, 08:46:35 PM »
I'm getting tired of playing the game in a small window rather than using the entirety of my monitor, so in RA2.cfg I changed the resolution settings to my monitor's native resolution (1600x900). But when I play like this the image is all stretched out and it's a littly dizzying to look at, is there any way to stop it from stretching the image?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

More weapons or external armor, or a more powerful weapon motor like SKBT suggested.
I guess I'll add more external armour then, more weapons would just over complicate things, and like I said before, I can't figure out any good way to use the Perms.

Speaking of armor this could use a half-sheet or 2 attached to the baseplate, and last time I checked 10mm titanium wasn't much stronger than 5mm titanium for being twice as thick, so use the latter instead.
If I were to switch to 5mm I'd have far too much free weight with nothing to replace it with, at least nothing I can think of.

The rear ramplate is terrible, Fyi. You don't need anything protecting the back because the AI never goes there anyway. I'd try to put on a metal hinge wedge honestly.
I gave a skirt wedge a quick try just now, and it doesn't really do much, the weapon sticks out further than the wedge, so it's effectively useless.

For Comet:

Use the low chassis glitch to put on NPCs with Hypnodisc wheels. It should be invertible.

Don't stack ant batteries, it's unrealistic and you don't need a third ant anyway.
Comet is actually invertible as it is, but like I said I've already got a few ideas for Comet II that should make it far more effective.
As for the batteries, realistically they wouldn't be locked in either a vertical or horizontal position and permanently stuck in rows of three, it looks to me like there is plenty of space for nine batteries in that space. The chassis should be designed to fit everything in better on Comet II anyway, so I wont need to stack the batteries.

Use extenders, not a disc, to attach weapons.

Use razor tips as weaponry instead of pole spikes. Or Small DS teeth. Either one works.
I realised that the disc was a problem pretty early on, that was one thing I already planned to changed in Comet II.
As for razors, I was using them originally but they broke off far to easily, when I switch to extenders rather than a disc I should have more than enough razors to make up for that.

Try dropping the Vertical Spinners armor down to something like TI3 and using two perm 80's, instead of the single E-tek.
Thanks, I'll give that a go soon, the weapon's acceleration is pretty lousy to be honest.

Edit: I've had a go at putting Perms instead of the E tek, but I can't seem to find any way to use them that doesn't put the discs too far apart, what exactly did you have in mind?

I've already thought of a few improvements to this bot, I might get around to making Comet II later today.

Thanks for the advice, but what do you mean by black 80cm discs? Aren't the smallest of those discs 100cm?
I'll change the design around a bit and post back later.
